Policy Wins and Federal Momentum

Wave energy has the potential to provide up to 66% of U.S. electricity needs, but offshore systems have long struggled with cost, durability, and scalability. All that is about to change.

In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, host Dylan Garrett welcomes Inna Braverman, founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power, to explore how her company is making wave energy commercially viable through an innovative onshore approach. Inna shares her personal journey from surviving the Chernobyl disaster as an infant to becoming a pioneer in clean energy at just 24. She explains why building on existing coastal infrastructure reduces costs and risks, how wave energy’s 90% availability rate complements solar and wind, and why focusing on achievable early markets is key to scaling climate tech.

What you will learn:

Inna Braverman is the founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power (Nasdaq: WAVE), a pioneering company revolutionizing renewable energy through onshore wave technology. She co-founded the company at 24, leading it to install the world’s first grid-connected wave energy array and secure a 404.7MW project pipeline. Recognized by Wired, Fast Company, and the United Nations for her innovation and impact, Inna’s journey, from surviving the Chernobyl disaster as an infant to becoming a global clean energy leader, embodies her resilience and vision.
